Movie Review: Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko

 

Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko: The Music of Rey Valera is a Philippine biographical musical film revolving around the life of Filipino musician Rey Valera. Rey chooses ten of his OPM blockbusters to weave a tapestry on the human condition and his reflections on the stories of what makes the Filipino a Filipino. The characters in the movie are composites of some of the people he encountered in his life.

Rey immerses into the whys and wherefores of how he was able to create such immortral hit songs as “Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok Ko”, “Malayo Pa Ang Umaga”, “Mr. DJ”, “Pangako sa Yo”, “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo”, “Maging Sino Ka Man”, “Kung Kailangan Mo Ako”, “Tayong Dalawa”, “Ako si Superman”, and some of the greatest hit songs performed by Rico J. Puno.
